The flag was purchased this last year for the sole purpose of
preserving its history. It measures 40" x 57" and is a
rather large flag in comparison to other personal Japanese
flags. The plan is to track down the
living signers and to get the history and the circumstances that
brought all of these Marines together at that point in time.
This will be a work in progress. I have taken detailed
pictures of all the signatures and will post those along with
the information that I find out about that Marine. If I am
able to get in touch with the Marine, I will post what I find
out. I will also post close up pictures of the Japanese
words. In the center of the flag, I have been since told
that it includes the name Hideki Tojyo, Victory, Okinawa, and
Japan but I am not sure if this translation is correct. If you have any questions, please email me at
Admin@colorslost.org.
Thanks!
